Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): The following was observed:
1. A mallet was observed to be covered in plastic wrap which was torn and appeared to be flaking. The mallet was stored in a clean container near the ice machine and staff stated that it was used for breaking apart blocks of ice cubes within the ice machine.

2. Take-out bowls removed from dry storage food bins. Ensure that take-out containers are not being reused as they are not intended for multiple uses. Reusable scoops should be used for food items and should be stored in a manner that protects food from potential contamination (e.g. purpose-built scoops with handles stored outside of food product).
3. Skewers discarded. Ensure that single-use wooden skewers are used only once, then discarded. They are not intended for multiple uses and cannot be adequately washed and sanitized. Do not stored skewers after use.
